@Nokuru; the background is overdithered. It makes the characters less visible. Your characters can use some darker colors. That OR the background could be darker.
Anyways it's good enough to be submitted, but it can be better. |

@Nokuru: If I were you, I would probably make the canvas a little bigger. At this size, it's hard to tell what characters you're trying to portray. I know it's a little daunting to make a large, or well, larger, piece, but this one may be calling for that.

Anubis is definitely the coolest God! I bet most pieces will be about him.

As far as I know, the weekly challenges have always allowed multiple entries!
Philippe even managed to get all top three awards once, now THAT was amazing :D *edit* also no, I will only be submitting the second one, assuming I have the time to actually finish it :) Edited by Mrmo Tarius - 03 December 2013 at 7:34am |

Originally posted by Drazelic No Japanese or Chinese gods? I am rather disappointed. We put this limit in order to prevent a religion-bashing campaign (and it has nothing to do with our religious views, believe it or not). So, as long as you address relatively inactive deities, it's ok. It's just that I have no clue if these Japanese or Chinese gods are still being commonly worshipped. Originally posted by Nokuru

I hope to see at least one Quetzalcoatl. I'm not sure if I can pull it off. It's general depicted pretty colorfully too.

Anubis doodle.
![]() UPDATE ![]() It is too huge. and it looks bad ((( Even though it is just a sketch.
I'll mess with it a little more, but it looks like I'd better get another idea for this piece.

The first rough is awesome and graphic as it is and instead of the light hitting head on as it is I think if you light from the top it will solve you 'big hand' problem as the shadows would be straight down thus reading as a large hand. Just my opinion of course that what you need here is editing and thinking as a graphic instead of a scene. |

Yeah, the graphic was the first priority for me, but I got distracted by the environment. Thanks! You're saving me again. @Nokuru consider increasing the contrast in your picture. ![]() |

You choose shades and tweak them individually until the palette is unified. You current palette is not that good on contrast, k. Understand that a palette is not solely judged on its own all the time you have to see it in action too. Color in pixelart takes some time so keep at it. |

Actually I like your piece a lot with the background. You just have a lot of polishing work to do for a few days. I think you could somehow simplify the piece by darkening most of the outer regions or something. Edited by Gecimen - 05 December 2013 at 6:56am |

I redid colors entirely and changed the water.
Something needs to be done with the contrast. And the left hand will be redrawn for sure. ![]() Still didn't even try to polish anything. I guess it will take forever. Edited by Muxaun - 05 December 2013 at 1:05pm |

I wish Mrmotarius will finish his work, the style is very interesting. Btw here's an update of my piece. So yes its a battle mock up, but a dance battle huhu. ![]() I don't know if I have to add an audience (like paper mario 2)or not. |

Hm, I'm having a hard time reading Hator's boob properly. I think it's supposed to be the bottom of her golden bra, but it looks like a crease. Still love the entry, though.

This is the rough sketch for the piece that i was gonna make. However, since i am new to pixel art, i failed and i don't have much time anyway due to college. Thought I'd Share it anyway. this is just the idea (pencil sketch)

![]() Looking awesome as usual everyone! Corpsegrinder I did chess too! but at the retirement home with an ageing Odin vs Gaea, pretty heated. Need some last minute direction. Does the composition work? Can you read the characters? Is it too dark? Should I increase contrast? Have I used the colours correctly (I edited a Bigbrother palette but I don't know if I've used it right - cheers for the inspirational work) Any other niggles or bad pixel technique? How do I make the vines not look like tentacles? I think I'll need to go dig out some pixel references for that - any suggestions I'm thinking of adding detail on the furniture so it won't look so boring. -sorry for the outsource/ if the link doesn't work and thanks in advance for any feedback xx |

At first I thougt it is a window. The picture here is just a noise. You could actually place a window here. the space between them shall not be cluttered with objects - it makes the piece look too cramped. - these guys do drop shadow to the floor, but not to the chairs. - To make the vine not look like tentacle you can add leaves. Also the vine is more like a DNA spiral, not flat spiral. Also the vine's thickness changes very smoothly. |
